"10.000 Anos Depois entre Vénus e Marte", Portuguese for "10,000 Years after between Venus and Mars" is a completeparadoxof
the present music composed and played by José Cid. "The concept is that Earth was destroyed except for one manand
onewoman who leave on a spaceship. 10000 years later, they return to Earth restored to its primal beauty". This
albumisconsidered by many to be one of the Mellotron masterpieces. Fans of spacey French symphonic rock and late '70s
ELOYshouldreally like this one. An excellent album. Highly recommended. « hide |
